(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(a) (i) and (iv) (b) (ii) only
(c) (i) and (ii) (d) (iii) and (iv)

Double displacement reactions are those in which ions of the reactants are exchanged to form new compounds as products.
Na+ ion combines with ion and ion combines with ion to form two new compounds as sodium chloride (NaCl) and barium sulphate respectively.
Sodium and Barium are displaced from each other’s salts hence it is a double displacement reaction.
